​This type of condenser is air-cooled, but it uses a separate cooling unit usually located on the roof to cool the unit. The remote condenser has to be purchased separately, which makes the initial set-up costs greater, but it does have some benefits over air-cooled and water-cooled units. For one, a remote-cooled condenser doesn’t expel hot air into the restaurant like regular air cooled units.

​Remote condensers are used as condensing external units in HVAC/R contribute to the optimization of air-conditioning systems in hospitals, hotels, shopping centers, data centers, supermarkets and cold rooms.
